Schoolchildren saw Jamie Curtis stab Kevin Hier in the neck before telling
them: "this is what you do if someone messes with your girlfriend"

A jealous boyfriend lured his love rival into a trap by using his girlfriend's mobile phone before stabbing him to death and then telling child witnesses "this is what you do if someone messes with your girlfriend".

Jamie Curtis, 26, stabbed Kevin Hier, 50, in the neck after sending him bogus text messages from his girlfriend's phone, asking to meet up in a dark lane.

Curtis enticed his victim to his death after discovering girlfriend Lorraine Davies, 34, was going to leave him for Mr Hier.

Posing as girlfriend Ms Davies, the last text sent to Mr Hier said: "Come get me."

A court heard Mr Hier went to find Ms Davies - but was met by Curtis carrying a kitchen knife.
